The Dragons have risen over the plains of Talisman. With them we see an introduction of six new endings, six new characters, 2 inner region replacements and 168 new cards.

The Dragon lords - Varthrax, Cadorus, and Grilipus - bring with them some complex mechanics in the form of dragon rages but with the complexity comes strategy and depth. Another mechanic is added to Talisman’s vast arsenal that increases just how dynamic the experience can be.

Gained stat improvements are also displayed by token counters in inventories

Reroll opportunities now glow purple to separate them from normal rolls

There is now a discard and burn pile in the 'more decks' tab

Sudden death counter now accessible through button on the ending tab

Menus

New inner regions are listed under house rules

Alternate endings now have an enable all/disable all button

Advanced options has been cleaned up

Fixes

A patch list is near impossible to make due to balancing patches for the Firelands and developing Dragons. Knowing which bugs went live when reported in the threads against which bugs were fixed on the fly against which bugs were fixed through beta reports against which bugs were fixed because we broke the game fixing bugs in the beta but the live version never saw these bugs… insert more excuses here

The key fixes that people should be aware of is that we have found a number of causes that impact completing games (transferring from the victory screen to the XP screen), disconnecting during online play, launching resume games and rejoining. There’s been a lot of individual bug fixes for a lot of really niche issues but the network fixes should benefit all users that play online.

If you have reported or experienced and super specific issues and want to know if it’s been addressed then please ask and I’ll let you know.

TO NOTE: Getting the update will most likely make your old saves outdated due to all of the new code running in the background, so please complete any games you want to finish before getting the update.

Special thanks…

As always, we are grateful for all the hours that people choose to give to helping us improve the quality of Talisman: Digital Edition. For this expansion we gave more people access at an earlier stage and some folk really went above and beyond in helping us ensure the highest standards possible.

Thanks especially to Nemomon for your continued hard work and support.

We’re releasing free Talisman characters today as part of the Games Workshop Skulls for the Skulls Throne promotion on Steam.

Whether it’s for Horus Heresy or Digital Edition you won’t be disappointed, Sanguinius and Ka’Bandha will be added to your warlord list in Horus Heresy and the Witch Doctor will be cursing his way onto the Digital Edition board.

All these characters are freely available to new and existing players as a token of Nomads appreciation to all our Talisman customers.

If you’re into the fantasy version, Talisman: Digital Edition, then the Witch Doctor can curse other characters with his evil eye, has a penchant for magic and great healing abilities. If Talisman: The Horus Heresy is your weakness there’s a whole character pack up for grabs with the formidable Sanguinius, Primarch of the Blood Angels Legion and Ka’Bandha the mightiest of Khornes servants, not to mention seven new encounter data slates and four new alternative game endings.

If you don’t own either of these games you can snap them up at a bargain price with 80% off the base games and up to 60% off expansions this weekend, as part of the Games Workshop Skulls for the Skull Throne Steam promotion.

Not only that we’ve released the next expansion for Talisman: The Horus Heresy - The Shadow Crusade has begun. While the Ultramarines reel from the Traitor surprise attack on Calth, Lorgar and the rest of the Word Bearers strike deep into the realm of Ultramar. Their unlikely allies, Angron and the World Eaters, continue to ravage each new system they come across.

The Shadow Crusade allows the player to explore the events of The Horus Heresy around the Ultramar System in more detail and play as the Warlords and Legions that fought there.

The Expansion has 6 new Warlords for you to play. Each Warlord also comes with their custom Legion Dataslates.

The free Talisman characters and Shadow Crusade are all available on Steam, iOS and Android.

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is Talisman?Talisman is a board game in which you move around the board building up your character’s strength and magic power by battling monsters, finding treasures, completing quests and trying to be the first player to reach the centre space – the Crown of Command.

How is Talisman: Digital Edition different to Talisman: Prologue?Talisman: Prologue is a single-player only game in which you tried to complete a series of challenges using the rules of Talisman. Talisman: Digital Edition is the full board game experience for up to 6 players, using the same rules as the board game.

Can I play dirty?That’s at the very core of Talisman! Cast spells at other players to make them miss turns! Steal from them! Turn them into toads! Send powerful allies to do your fighting for you!

How replayable is the game?The emergent nature of the game means that every game will tell its own tale. The board starts with just the playing pieces and builds up to become a land filled with terrible danger and fabulous treasure! As you move around the board, you must make careful decisions about where to travel as each space can become more dangerous or more helpful as the game progresses. To help you get around, players can use things like teleporting, magic portals and fate, which allows you to re-roll your dice to get different results.

How long is a game of Talisman?The physical board game can take 2-5 hours with 6 players, but our digital version cuts that down drastically, with an offline 6 player game typically taking no more than 1 hour. Offline and online games can be saved and resumed at any time so your adventures can take as long as you like! We’ve also added some features which decrease the length of games – House rules and Runestone cards. House rules change the basic rules slightly to speed-up the game and Runestone cards, exclusive to this digital edition, give characters extra abilities and allow them to become very powerful much quicker, making for shorter games.

Is there a hotseat mode?Yes! Look your opponents in the eyes as you face them in deadly combat or sneak up from the shadows and steal their favourite items! All of the fun and social enjoyment of the physical game is captured in the digital version, but with no setup time!

What’s included with the base game and are there expansions?For the initial purchase, everything that you get with the physical board game is included – all of the characters, spells and adventure cards, plus a few bonuses we've added. Expansions will be added and the first six, The Reaper, The Frostmarch, The Dungeon, The Highland, The Sacred Pool and The City are available to purchase now. These add lots more spells, events, monsters, characters and alternative endings! Extra characters are also available to purchase, including rare characters from Talisman’s history.
